“It is wonderful to have David take care of kitty drop ins for our 2 fur babies again. We are grateful to have a trustworthy and reliable person to care for Carly and Augie when we are away.”
“Denise was wonderful with my kitties, even my one kitty who is scared of strangers came out and was loving being petted by Denise. She did everything just the way i asked. I received pictures everyday I was away. I will definitely have Denise care for my kitties in the future if she is available. Thank you so very much 🐈⬛🐾❤️”
“Justina did an excellent job caring for our three cats while we were away. She provided frequent updates and amazing photos that gave us peace of mind and showed that our fur babies were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was clear she took the time to make sure they received plenty of attention and care during each visit. We came home to three happy cats and felt completely confident that they were in good hands while we were gone. We highly recommend Justina and will definitely be booking with her again in the future! 🐾💕”
“Our 3 kitties absolutely love Ja! She's a true lover of animals and understands how hard it is to leave our babies at home when we leave. She provides stellar communication with photos, has very good attention to detail, asks questions, and spends real quality time with the kitties. We feel incredibly at ease when Ja is looking after our little pack!”
“Cindy was great with our cats. Came in on time for the visits, we had very good communication - received updates, pictures and follow up texts. We would highly recommend her and we'll definitely ask her to take care of our cats again.”
“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”
“Olivia is great! Very responsive and easy to communicate with. We’re happy to have her able to stop in and play with our dog Maile while we’re at work. Maile is so excited every time she sees her! 100% recommend”
“Janine is a dog whisperer! Our rescue dog has anxiety when it comes to meeting new people. Janine followed our detailed instructions when meeting our dog. Before long our dog was feeling comfortable with her. Janine is patient, kind and her love for dogs is obvious. She showed up as requested, taking great care of our dog. We will be sure to contact Janine again in the future!!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care our cats received! One of our cats is usually very shy around strangers, but to our surprise, he went straight to Misha without any hesitation; a true testament to her gentle and calming presence. She sent us adorable daily photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our cats were clearly well-loved and looked after. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“I was going to be longer then expected and didn’t want to leave my new puppy in her crate for so long. I reached out to Emma last minute to see if she was able to take my new puppy out for a walk/potty and she was able. Emma was great and very kind. She sent me pictures and update. She brought peace of mind and I didn’t feel bad leaving Cookie so long. Emma thank you for your help.”

“Melissa went above and beyond all of our expectations for her. We were contacted with pictures and text letting us know how our dog was doing each time she came to house. A++++. Fully recommend Melissa to anyone who needs a pet sitter. ”
“Lindsay is a dependable caregiver. She took care of my dog at the last minute. I loved the pictures she sent too. I will use her again when I need someone responsible to care for my Boba. 🐕”
About: I was the primary caretaker for my family dog for three years. I potty trained him from the start, and he can perform multiple tricks. He has a calm temperament, follows commands well, and gets along great with other dogs and people. I was the primary caretaker for my family dog for 3 years, including potty training him and teaching him multiple tricks. Caring for him gave me hands-on experience with routines, walks, play, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits all week, with 24-hour availability on weekends. Currently have fenced yard transitioning into large field . When taking care of pet in clients home or mine I follow their routines feed accordingly and I love to provide plenty of exercise, walking, and play time and any updates throughout the day
“Alec is easily one of the best sitters on this app. He is caring, considerate and timely at all times. Very responsive and trustworthy. I will continue to go to him knowing my dog will be in good hands.”
About: My family has had pets my entire life, including large breed dogs such as huskies and bully breeds, cats, reptiles, and amphibians. I frequently pet sit for family and friends, which ranges from stopping in for potty breaks on a long work day or in-house pet sitting for up to a week at a time. I am a freelancer so my schedule is super flexible and I am looking forward to making your fur babies a consistent part of it! I follow client instructions to the T: always on time, no unapproved snacks (no need for upset bellies!), and following the pets' lead when they take a little extra time to warm up

Tetiana was an amazing sitter for my cat. She was very responsive, kind, and caring. She gave my cat the meds he needs each day and provided me with a recap and pictures each day. Tetiana was even flexible when I needed to add on extra visits last minute. I highly recommend Tetiana to anyone needing a pet sitter.
He did very well taking care of our dog Pebbles especially after we lost our oldest dog the day before he visited. Pebbles truly loves him and I could see she bonded with him well, he's a very kind dog sitter and was attentive to Pebbles. Will always recommend!
I was really nervous to have my 2 cats pet-sat for the first time, but there was no reason to be! Justina was awesome, and my cats loved her, even the fickle Siamese one. 😂 During the 9 days my husband and I were gone, she provided liberal amounts of photos and updates. She also left our house clean and tidy afterwards. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Allentown on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,464 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Allentown. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Allentown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Allentown. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
